Hamm has a better relationship with the recruiting side of it. He's going to get more in depth interviews, and he works those high school kids like a Catholic priest. And the personalities there are much more interesting and not a homogeneous group of cocksuckers like on TexAgs. And he's a bit more reasonable and realistic than TexAgs on where recruits are leaning. Looch is much better connected from the coaching/12th Man side. The content they pump out is unmatched. Whenever someone on a different site makes fun of Looch he gets hyperdefensive and always talk about the content angle. And he's right. Those interviews with Sharp/12th Man might be worth the cost of the subscription. What is really funny is how much Hamm and Looch hate eachother. I think I like Looch more personally because I know him better, but Hamm is still a nice guy.

Rivals is behind the ball and has ostracized too many people in the AD. Tarp is supposedly a nice guy, but I've never met him.

Scout is meh.

Honestly stop being a lolpoor and buy two. TexAgs and 247.

TexAgs for the content.
247 for the recruiting info.

If I only had to choose one, I'd go with TexAgs because of all they offer, but if I was only concerned with recruiting info, I'd go with 247.

I subscribe to both and it's worth every penny.

Very good level headed assessment but I disagree on a few points.

TexAgs has Logan Lee doing most of their recruit interviews and I really enjoy those, Logan seems to connect well with the recruits since he has gone through it and gets some good info. It has taken a step backwards though since Brandon Leone left.

I would probably agree with this though, while the interviews that Logan gets are excellent they are fairly brief in nature so you probably get more depth from 247.

I have to disagree on here as well ... I have been a TA subscriber for a several years and the only major recruiting bust I have ever seen was the LB who was committed but signed with OU, that is probably the only recruiting bust I have seen from Liucci.

Absolutely correct and incredibly annoying. He does the same when his subscribers disagree with him.

quote:

Going out of order but it ties into my last comment ... in periods where there is a lot of opinions floating around, the Liucci opinion will almost always take over in the group think and be gospel. I almost canceled my subscription during the coaching search not because of the content, which was/is excellent, but because of the dbag posters whose canned response is "I trust Liucci's opinion over yours", gets incredibly annoying.

Can not be understated, the saga of did Hamm have a job offer from TexAgs and what the offer actually was provided tons of hilarity due to Billy getting hyperdefensive. Although I personally dislike Hamm ever since I found out his goal is to be Texas A&M's version of Geoff Ketchum. No one who wants to model them self after that tool is worth my time.
